Search with the “Info Guides”

Assisted search

Would you like to carry out a search on your own and need some help getting started? We’d be glad to help: book an assisted search with us. We take on the role of guide and search live with you on the screen. Think of us as your pilot: you tell us where you want to go, and we steer you through to your destination.

An assisted search lets you get to know various free databases. Afterwards, you will know what is important when entering data in the search mask and how to clearly organise the search results so you can begin your analysis.

How does an online search appointment work?

If you would like to enlist the support of our “Info Guides”, please make an appointment in one of the following ways:

1. By phone: +49 (0) 6151 16-76500.

2. By e-mail to: patent-markenzentrum@ulb.tu-darmstadt.de

3. Directly, using the form at the bottom of the page

Once you have made an appointment and clarified the kind of support you require, you will receive a link to a Zoom meeting by e-mail.

An “Info Guide”, one of our IP experts, will then give you virtual support with your database search at the agreed time. They will show you how to formulate your query and answer questions on matters relating to industrial property rights.

The cost of an assisted search is 50 euros per half hour, exclusive of VAT. You can find out the cost of our other services when you phone to make your appointment.

How you benefit:

  • search online or, on request, in our office
  • save time by not having to travel
  • duration and scope of search to suit your individual wishes
  • all in all, the ideal solution for you.
